Anyone in Australia want free burgers for life?

Gumbo z'herbes.



Ham stock with a total of two pounds of Beet greens, broccoli raab, pak choy, arugula, mizuna, two kinds of mustard greens and cress, plus all the usual Cajun goodies.. This caramel roux is the lightest one I make.

What an amusing food nemesis. My only one is tinned tuna (I love a steak though).

There are certain hot peppers my mom used to prepare (I think she pan fried them; they were so powerful, though, that one pepper spiced an entire dish for up to 8 people) that would send me into a coughing fit if they got into the air (through cutting or cooking). Later on in life, she'd tell me when she was going to cook them, and I'd just leave the house.

I've never heard of anyone reacting to canned tuna though. My brother used to have a similar melon issue, but not as extreme.

It's not so bad - I'm just not keen on it.

Two of my adult nieces are in town for a visit, so there will be a BBQ for the cool nieces and nephews tonight. They think Aunt and Uncle Krinkle are alright, so we get to go too. My nephew likes to cook his burgers to well done, so I am attempting a beef blend that is highly flavourful and won't dry out. The 70/30 lean to fat blend is really only good if you stop at medium rare. Beyond that there is not enough fat.



Left to right: 3 pounds of brisket, 3 pounds of sirloin and four pounds of short ribs. The brisket is very flavourful and has a good fat content, the sirloin is blandly effective for the lean content and the short ribs are super flavourful with fat that does not render easily. It should take until around medium before it cooks down and should provide the required moisture for my nephew's well done cooking.

Have I mentioned lately that I love the Ankarsrum? According to my RGM 400 it took 4 minutes and 52 seconds to grind 8 1/2 pounds of beef! The grinder itself did not even have time to warm up to room temperature.

The wife is convincing me to try veggie burgers (fake chicken) for dinner tonight... I'll try anything once. We found a slug in our lettuce. Organic veg box seems to be the real deal.

We make several kinds of veg burgers that are quite good. We tend to try not to make any kind that try too hard to fake meat, but we make a black bean one that gets a nice meat-ish crust when grilled.
